Abstract: A headlamp assembly for a vehicle includes housing for coupling the headlamp assembly to a vehicle and a heat sink structure having a first surface, a second surface, a first edge, and a second edge. A first light emitting diode assembly and a second light emitting diode assembly are each electrically connected to a circuit board. The second edge of the heat sink structure directly contacts an inner surface of the housing, such that the housing is separated into first and second sections by the heat sink structure. Illumination of the first light emitting diode assembly results in a low beam and illumination of both the first light emitting diode assembly and the second light emitting diode assembly results in a high beam.

Abstract: In an electronic device, an RC oscillator generally includes a resistor, a capacitor and at least one inverter. The resistor and capacitor generate a time-varying voltage. The time-varying voltage is provided to the at least one inverter to cause a clock signal to propagate therethrough. The clock signal propagates with a time delay that is at least partially dependent on a supply voltage. The supply voltage is adjusted to maintain the time delay at almost a constant value.

The headlamp assembly is adapted to emit a high beam and a low beam and the headlamp assembly is completely bisected by the planar heat sink structure.

Abstract: A modular headlamp assembly includes low beam headlamp module for providing illumination in a predetermined light distribution pattern. The low beam headlamp module includes a low beam heat sink and mounting assembly having a low beam heat sink portion with first and second sides. A low beam reflector member is attached to the low beam heat sink and mounting assembly such that the low beam heat sink portion bisects the reflector low beam member into first and second segments. A plurality of LED light sources is supported by the low beam heat sink portion. The reflector assembly and plurality of LED light sources produce a light distribution pattern extending at least 40 degrees in a first horizontal direction and at least 40 degrees in a second horizontal direction, with the light distribution pattern having a sharp horizontal cutoff line parallel to and below a horizon.

Abstract: A sheet of titanium alloy that is less than 0.015? thick has adequate plasticity for subsequent forming into at least a part of a medical device that is MR-Conditional. A method for making the titanium alloy sheet includes cold rolling a titanium alloy to form a sheet having an average thickness less than or equal to 0.015?, cutting the sheet to length, and vacuum annealing the sheet in a final step, wherein the sheet following vacuum annealing has adequate plasticity for subsequent forming into at least a part of a medical device that is MR-Conditional. Neither grinding nor chemical etching is used to reduce the thickness of the titanium alloy when processing the sheet.

Abstract: An apparatus in an example comprises a guide, a driven member, and a carriage. Tension in the driven member generates a moment that biases the carriage against the guide.
